Xenia’s World: New Yorkers in St. Barth

The owner of 1Oak and the Darby Richie Akiva and his New York crew organized such a cool New Year’s Eve after-party that everyone (A-listers, starting with the Black Eyed Peas and concluding with Roman himself) ran from the famous event on Abramovich’s yacht straight to their huge white villa on the paradise hills St. Barthélemy. The party ended at 8 in the morning.


After only two days, it was time to recover from the hangover and do it all over again at the impressive Villa Dune in Saline Beach, which hosts all the party people on the island. More than 400 people showed up, including happily dancing D-squared designers Dean and Dan, art gallery owners like Helly Nahmad, models like Alessandra Ambrosio, showgirls like Victoria Silvstedt, property figures like Maurice Dabbah, and party boys and fortune heirs like Brandon Davis, just to name a few. The guests couldn’t stay away from the open-air improvised dance floor under the stars. The music lasted until the morning when the young hosts decided on their next destination: Miami.
